The skin between the toes is itchy and peeling

Generally, peeling of the foot skin is more common on the soles of the feet. Of course, in addition to the soles of the feet, peeling may also occur between the toes. Not only will the skin between the toes peel, but it will also make people feel very itchy. If people do not pay attention to it at this time, ulcers may occur later. Why is the skin between the toes itchy and peeling?

1 Generally, blisters, peeling and itching will occur on the feet. This is a typical fungal infection of athlete's foot, which is contagious and prone to recurrence. Generally, severe hair loss and itching are often accompanied by obvious ulceration. Therefore, when treating at this time, you must be careful when choosing medicines. You cannot use strong irritating drugs externally, so as not to aggravate the skin lesions.

2 At this time, pay attention to keeping the skin of the affected area dry. For treatment, you can use 1:8000 potassium permanganate solution for wet compresses, and then apply external powder. After the skin is dry, use antifungal ointment for treatment. Remember to apply wet compresses every day, so that the symptoms will gradually be relieved. During the treatment, keep your feet breathable and dry. Do not cover or let the soles of your feet sweat, otherwise it will aggravate the symptoms and make them more itchy.

3 In addition, Chinese herbal foot bathing can also play a role in treating athlete's foot. You can choose 50 grams of safflower and 500 grams of mugwort, divided into 12 portions to boil water for foot bathing. Note that only the original medicine can be used, and cold water cannot be added. After boiling, you can wait for it to cool down a little before soaking. Generally, soaking for 20-30 minutes is enough. It is best to soak twice a day and wipe dry after soaking. After soaking, you can also apply some anti-itching, anti-thin, transparent ointment.

4. Keep your feet dry. After bathing and washing your feet, be careful to dry each toe, and make sure the towel is only used once and not used by others, which can reduce the chance of infection. Also, clean the nail debris at least every 2-3 days. When cleaning up garbage, remember to use wooden products such as toothpicks or matchsticks, and do not use metal pieces for grinding nails. Metal materials contain many harmful substances and are easy to breed fungi. It will aggravate the peeling of the feet.

Note:

Patients with athlete's foot must pay attention to foot hygiene at ordinary times, especially foot basins should not be shared with family members, and socks should not be washed together. In addition, it is best to put shoes in the sun frequently or pour vinegar inside the shoes to fumigate them to play a sterilization role.
